WHY BAIL OUT

Be aware that once somebody is arrested, the legal system has 72 hours, or three business days, to get them before a Judge. Many people cannot wait in jail for days due to work and family commitments, nor do they want to be in jail that long. In most cases, by bailing the defendant out quickly, you can often prevent the defendant from making a legal mistake in court as the result of not having proper legal counsel.

COST AND PAPERWORK

At the time of arrest and processing, the bail amount is set according to a published Contra Costa County bail schedule that is set by judges.

As a bail consumer, you may choose to use a bail bondsman and will be paying 10% of the full amount of the bail. The bail agent will handle all the particulars of the transaction.

The cost for bail bonds is set by the State of California at 10% of the full bail amount. For example, for a bail amount of $20,000, a bail bond will cost $2000. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Alternatively, people that have the financial means may choose to pay the full amount of the bail in person by paying cash or cashier’s check. Be aware that these funds will be tied up until the case is completed. If you are paying by cashiers check, you need to be certain that the payee is exactly as the jail requests.

Usually, we can transact all bail bond paperwork by e-mail, fax and telephone. While you are filling out the paperwork at your home or office, we can have a bondsman in route to the jail to post the bond. This assures that the defendant is being released as expeditiously as possible. Please telephone us and we can discuss your options. Bail for Contra Costa County may be posted 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
